Dexter Commercial C2000CLRMC626KDC Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL C2000CLRMC626KDC is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock designed for classroom applications where controlled access is required. The non-clutching curved lever mechanism allows the lever to remain rigid when locked, preventing unauthorized operation while permitting free egress from the interior side. The unit ships with a C keyway cylinder and an ANSI-standard strike plate. The 2-3/4 inch backset fits standard door preparations used in light commercial and institutional construction. Installation is suited for locksmiths, finish hardware contractors, or facility maintenance technicians working on interior door hardware in school or office environments.

This cylindrical lock is intended for classroom and light commercial interior doors where a keyed exterior lever and a free-turning interior lever are required. The non-clutching lever design is a code-relevant feature in educational facilities, as it prevents lever manipulation from the exterior. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a neutral appearance compatible with most commercial door hardware schedules. This lock is sold as a single unit and is compatible with standard cylindrical lock door preparations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified finish hardware installer familiar with cylindrical lock door preparations and ANSI hardware standards. Ensure the door is de-energized if any electronic access control is integrated before beginning work. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before installation to confirm proper fit of the latch and strike. Follow the applicable building and life-safety codes for the occupancy type, particularly in educational or institutional settings where egress requirements may apply.
